PREFACE. 



The records of the First Church of Cambridge are contained in 
two books, both of which are in a fairly good state of preservation. 
The first of these is two hundred and ten years old, having been 
begun by Rev. William Brattle at the time of his ordination. 

This first book was rebound by direction of the Church during 
the ministry of Dr. Abiel Holmes at about the time the second 
book was purchased, and at this time there was bound with it, 
the list of members of the Church prepared by Rev. Jonathan 
Mitchell and a copy of a letter from Rev. Ezra Stiles giving an ac- 
count of the early history of the Church extracted from Win- 
throp's "Memoirs."* 

The first settled pastor of the Church in Cambridge was Rev. 
Thomas Hooker, but he in 1635 removed with the majority of his 
congregation to the new town [now Hartford] on the Connecticut. 
Some of the Church members remained in New Towne [Cam- 
bridge] and they united with others in extending a call to the 
Rev. Thomas Shepard, who was settled in 1636. 

Mr. Shepard remained the pastor until 1649, when he was 
"Translated hence unto the church triumphant." He was suc- 
ceeded by his student, the Rev. Jonathan Mitchell, who not only 
took charge of the Church, but married the Pastor's widow, and 
took charge of his property. Mr. Mitchell died in 1668. He com- 
piled a list of the members of the Church and their children in 
1658, in which he gave many items relating to the time when 
they joined the Church or were baptized. He continued to note 
changes in this record till the time of his death. 

This list was lost to the Church for many years, but was re- 
covered from the Prince Collection by Dr. Holmes. 

This manuscript is very much worn and has evidently been in 
a damp place. It is very difficult to read both on account of the 
fading of the ink and the way in which the later items have been 
interlined.

iv Preface. 

The Rev. Dr. Newell made a copy of this list a number of 
years ago. 

There is an earlier record of the church in existence covering 

part of Rev. Thomas Shepards' ministry. This is now in the 

custody of the New England Historic Genealogical Society. The 

officers of this society have refused permission to copy it. It is 

the record written by Rev. Thomas Shepard of the experiences 

related by those who wished to join the Church. It contains in 

all forty eight names. A list of these names is given below, the 

given names of the persons being added from Paige 's History of 

Cambridge.

These relations were evidently written down by The Rev. 
Thomas Shepard for presentation to the church in accordance 
with the custom then insisted ^upon, that a person wishing to 
unite with the Church must make a public relation to the church 
in regard to his previous life and give his reasons for wishing to 
join the Church. Paige in his History of Cambridge has given 
one or two of these relations copied from this book, and the 
relation of William Manning is copied in full in The Manning 
Family Genealogy. It is much to be regretted that the Council 
of the New England Historic Genealogical Society has taken the 
stand that they have in regard to this matter, as the book is part 
of the records of The Church at Cambridge, and as such should at 
least be open to examination and use by the church. 

In addition to the above records there are two old books in ex- 
istence which shed much light on the early history of the church 
and incidently on the history of the town. 

These books are still in the original raw hide bindings. The 
oldest of these and the most interesting, was in very bad condi-

tion, but it has been repaired by the Emery process so that it is 
now in good order, except as to some ends of leaves that were 
worn away before it was repaired. It has been carefully copied 
in duplicate with the typewriter. It contains the Deacons' ac- 
counts beginning with the year 1638 and ending in 1716, with a 
break of 21 years between 1645 and 1667. The book gives the 
amount of money collected each sabbath specifying whether it was 
paid in silver or ' ' papers, ' ' the latter being slips of paper deposited 
in the box with the contributors, names on them and the amounts 
which they were willing to contribute. It also contains a record 
of how the money collected was spent, and gives the special col- 
lections made on thanksgiving days for the relief of the poor, and 
the names of those who received this money or the supplies — for 
the contributions were not always in money but sometimes in 
produce. It contains much in regard to the ordination of Rev. 
Mr. Urial Oakes and Rev. Nathaniel Gookin, and an account of 
the building of the parsonage in 1670. Rev. Lucius Page, in his 
History of Cambridge, has largely quoted from this book in rela- 
tion to the early history of the Church. 

The other book is of somewhat later date. It contains a list of 
those ministers who supplied the pulpit after the death of The Rev. 
Nathaniel Gookin and previous to the calling of the Rev. William 
Brattle. It is interesting to observe that the regular amount paid 
the minister for a single service was 10s., and if the minister 
preached twice on the same day he received £1. It made no 
difference who was the minister, the Rev. Mr. Angier receiving 
the same amount as the Rev. Increase Mather, who was the best- 
known minister of his time. The latter gave the amount he re- 
ceived to Mr. Gookin's widow, who also received money from the 
deacons for entertaining the ministers from out of town. 

The remainder of this book is taken up with the rates paid by 
the different members of the parish. It is to be hoped that at some 
future time it may be possible to print and publish literal copies 
of portions of these books, which are invaluable to investigators 
of the customs of that time. 

In copying the records now printed the editor has endeavored 
to follow as exactly as possible, the original text, both in spelling 
and in the use of obsolete terms and letters. In a few instances 
where it has seemed necessary in order to make the subject 



Preface. vii 

plainer or to supply missing names, additions have been made to 
the text. 

These additions are all carefully indicated by being enclosed in 
[ ] brackets. The other matter which is enclosed in parentheses 
( ) was so enclosed in the original. 

On page 95 and some of the following pages Rev. W. Brattle 
made a number of notes in short hand. With the assistance of the 
late W m . P. Upham I was able to read most of these and have 
extended them in the text. There seems to have been no good 
reason for his writing these notes in this manner. A specimen of 
this short hand has been photographed and will be found on the 
plate facing page 64. Sarah Lewis referred to and her mother 
and sister were aided for many years by the church; and the 
mother, the widow Arrington, was finally buried by the church. 

The proofs of this work were carefully compared with the origi- 
nal text, without reference to the copy which was furnished the 
printer.

A Copy of a Letter from the Rev u Doctor Stiles of 

Neavfort. 



Dated Newport Octbr 16, 1772. 

Reverend Sir. 

Governour Winthrop wrote two volumes of Mem- 
oirs and Occurrences from 1630 to 1647. As you 
have no particular account of y e Gathering of y e Chh 
of Cambridge I thought it might be agreable to you 
to lodge with your prefent Chh Records Governour 
Winthrop's account of y e Gathering M r Shepherds 
Chh Feb: 1. 1 1)35/6 . 
1635 M r Shepherd a Godly Minister came lately out of 
M°.12.1. England & Divers other good Christians intending to 
raise a Chh Body came & acquainted y e Magistrates 
[t] herewith who gave their approbation. They 
Allso Sent to all y e neighboring Chh" for their Elders 
to give y 1 ' afsistance at a certain day at Newtowne 
when y y Should Conftitute that body- Accordingly 
at this day there met a great afsembly where y e pro- 
ceeding was as folio we th : M r Shepard & two others 
(who were after to be chofen to office) sat together 
in y e Elder's Seat: Then y e Elder of them began 
with prayer : after this M r Shepard prayed with deep 
confefsion of Sin &c. and Exercifed out of Eph. 5. 
That he might make us to himfelf a holy &c. and 
allfo opened y L " caufe of V Meeting. &c. Then 
y e Elder defired to know of y' Chh 8 : afsembled, what 
number were needfull to make a Chh, and how they 
ought to proceed in this action. 

Whereupon Some of y' Ancient Ministers confer- 
ring feverally together made Answers. That y e

Scripture did not Set down any any certain rule for 
y" Number. Three they thought were too few, 
because by Matth. 18. an appeal was allowed to be 
made from three : but that 7 might be a titt number 
for their proceeding They advized that such as were 
to join, Should make Confefsion of their faith & 
declare what work of Grace y e Lord had wrought in 
them. Which accordingly they did M r Shepard firft 
then 4 others ; then y° Elder & one who was to be a 
deacon (who had alfo prayed) and another member. 
Then y 6 Covenant was read and they all gave a 
Solemn afsent to it. Then y l Elder def ired of y e 
Churches, that if they did approve them to be a 
( 'hurch, they would give them y Right hand of Fel- 
lowship. Whereupon M r Cotton (upon fhort fpeech 
with fome others near him) in y e name of the 
Churches, Gave his hand to the Elder, with a fhort 
fpeech of their afsent, and defired y e Peace of the 
Lord Jefus to be with them. 

Then M r Shepard made an Exhortation to \" reft 
of this Body about y e nature of their Covenant and to 
ftand firm to it and commended them to y e Lord in a 
most heavenly Prayer. 

Then y e Elder told y e afsembly that they were En- 
tended to Choose M r Shepard for their Paftor (by y e 
name of y e Brother who (had) Exercised.) .X: defired 
y e churches that if they had anything to except 
againft him they would impart it before y' day of or- 
dination. Then he gave y Churches hands for their 
afsiftance & so left Them to y Lord.

his Paftoral Care. 

(But D r Stiles goes on in his Letter to me and 
obferves as follows.) 

There have been Two other Churches gathered in 
Cambridge. M 1 ' Hooker and M r Stone arrived with 
M r Cotton Sept. 4. 1633. 

Att a day of Fasting M r Cotton was ordained 
Teacher att Boston 10 th of October following and y e 
next day M r Hooker & M r Stone were ordained att 
Newtown* So their Church must have been Gathered 
Sometime between Sept. 4. and Oct. 11 1633. 

For att y e month of October 1633 Governor Win- 
throp says : "A Faft att Newtown when M r Hooker 
was chofen Paftor, and M r Stone Teacher in such 
manner as before att Bofton." In 1635 & 1636, the 
( Jongregation removed to Connecticut River, and Set- 
tled Newtown There, Called Hartford 1637. Rev d 
Thomas Hooker removed thither with his Family 
May 31 1636. i. e. about fourf months after y e Gath- 
ering M r Shepards chh. 

1636 M r Bulkly & M r Jones 2 English Ministers ap- 
2 mo 6 d pointed this day to Gather a Church att Newtowne 

to Settle att Concord. 

1637 The Church of Concord kept a day of Humiliation 
2'"" 6 a att Newtown for ordination of their Elders ; and they 

chofe M r Bulkly Teacher and M r Jones Paftor. Upon 
a Question moved by one Sent from y e Church of 
Salem, it was refolved by y e Ministers there prefent, 
that Such as had been Ministers in England, were 
Lawfull ministers by y 1 ' call of y e People here notwith- 
ftanding their acceptance of y 1 ' Call of y e Bishop &c. 
(for which they humbled themfelves acknowledging

counted themfelves no Ministers until! they were 

Called to Another Church and that upon Elect ion 
they were Ministers before they were Solemnly or- 
dained"

ufcripts. 

You complained Sir, of y e Lofs of your Original 
Church Records when I laft saw you, and that you 
could recover no Authentic Memoir of v' Gathering of 
your Church I thought a Memoir preferred by so good 
an authority as y' first Governor Winthrop who was 
probably prefent att y e Transaction would be accept- 
able to you. May y e Divine Blefsing attend your 
Ministry. May I have an intereft in your Prayers.

following votes. Viz. 
1 . We apprehend y* as y r is a general decay of piety 
among us, So y r are allso a great many disorderly 
walkers, not only among thofe y l are baptifed & So 
reckoned y e children of y e Chh, but even among thofe 
y 1 have publickly owned y e Covenant, yea & among 
thofe y l are Members in full Communion with us even 

(50) such as neglect y 1 ' bufinefs, y l frequent Taverns, & 

publick houfes & follow Unlawfull Gaming, & Excef- 
sive drinking Strong drink, and are profane in y r

Converfation, whereby y y greatly dishonour y r Chrif- 
tian name & profefsion, break y (> good & wholefome 
laws of y e Land, mifpend y r precious time Impoverifh 
y r families blaft y r reputation, Impare y r health, Unfit 
ymfelves for bufinefs, run ymfelves into Inumerable 
Snares & temptations & Extremely hazard y r Im- 
mortal Souls. 

2. We apprehend y l y e Increafing & prevaling of Such 
Sinful disorders as y v have done of late among us is 
very much owing to our not Exercifing y e faithful! & 
friendly watch over one another ; as we have mutually 
& Solemnly Engaged by Covenant ; & to a General 
Lukewarmnefs & Unexemplarinefs among our Selves. 

3. Under a deep Sense of our former defects we hum- 
bly Implore y e pardoning mercy of God thro Jesus 
Chrift, att y e same time refolving & Solemnly promif- 
ing y l by y e help of Divine grace we will Endeavor 
more Effectually to discountenance & discourage Such 
Sinfull disorders for y e future, by taking care each 
one to reform himfelf in thefe or other Sins y l our 
Consciences Charge as with, and by being more Cir- 
cumspect & Exemplary in our Carriage, particularly 
we promile Steddily & diligently to Imploy our Selves 
in y'' bufinefs of some honelt Calling, y* we will 
carefully avoid drinking Strong drink wherein is Ex- 
cefs, all Unlawfull Gaming, & y l we will be Cautious 
of going in or Sitting att Taverns and publick houfes. 
And as we would be willing to deny ourfelves even 
our lawfull liberty in many things to prevent others 
from Stumbling thereat; So we now promise for ou r 
Selves reflectively y' in order to discountenance this 
evil & pernicious Cul'tom of needlesly going to & 
Sitting Long att y' Taverns : we will not frequent 
Such publick houfes either on days or in y e Evenings, 
except when we have lawfull bufinefs y l Calls us 
thither, iV y 1 we will Endeavour So to order our af- 
fairs as y 1 we may but Seldom have occafion to go 
to Such houfes & y* when we are obliged to go to 



130 Records of the First Church in Cambridge. 

Such places we will endeavour always to Set Exam- 
ples of Sobriety & good order by moderate drinking 
& Seafonably departing. 

4. We do Solemnly promife y l we will more faithfully 
watch over one another, and all among us y l are in 
any degree related to y e chh by y r Baptifm or owning 
y L ' Covenant, with a Spirit of meeknefs, love and 
tendernefs, Counfelling Exhorting & adrnonifhing 

(51) one another frequently as we see occafion leaft any be 

hardened thro y e deceitfulnefs of Sin & in thole cafes 
w r in we apprehend is applicable & necefsary we will 
Endeavour to profecute our Saviour's rule with re- 
fpect to admonitions as laid down in Math : 18 : 15, 
16, 17. 

5. That a Suitable Letter be Sent to y e Inholders & 
Retailers. 

N. B. y e letter is to be prepared & Sent by y e Paftor, 
& y e purport of it to be an Earueft Exhortation to 
y 1 " to do what in y m lyes to prevent Intemperance, 
Gaming or any diforder att y r houfes. 

And now O Lord God of our Fathers keep thefe 
things forever in y e Imaginations of y e thoughts of 
y e heart of thispple & prepare their heart unto thee.

our Pastor about Such meafures to be taken as Shall 
be thought mo ft likely (under y e Divine blefsing) 
to reform y*-' growing disorders among us, & make 
report to y e Brethren att another meeting, do unani- 
moufly agree with our Paftor to report as follows, 
viz : — 

1. That it is matter of humiliation to this Chh y' not 
withf tanding y e promife we make to every one we 
admit to our Communion of watching ocer y m for y 
good lie. & notwithftanding y° Solemn Engagement 
we entered into Some time ago, as to walk circum- 
fpectly our Selves, So to Exercife a more friendly & 
faithfull watch over one another, y l this duty is Still 
So much neglected, whereby disorderly walkers In- 
stead of being reclaimed are in danger of being 
hardened thro y c deceitfulnefs of Sin. 

2. That for as much as it is found by Sad Exper- 
ience y" y e Excufe of chriftian watchfulnefs over one 
another (which is y 1 ' duty of every one) is much 
neglected by reafon w 1 of, Intemperance, Idlenefs & 
other Immoralities & disorders have prevailed amoug 
us, greatly to y e difhonour of God & of our holy 
profefsion, & to y ( ' hurt and ruin of many. 

Wherefore we propose & recommend to y e Chh as 
what we apprehend may be Serviceable for y e reviv- 
ing religion & Supprefsing growing disorders y' y 1 ' 
(52) be a number of Wife, prudent & blamelefs Chriftians 

Chofen among our Selves, whofe special care it shall 
be to Infpect & obferve y' maimers of profefsing 
Chriftians among us, & Such as are under y' 1 Care & 
watch of this Chh & when y> hear of any Sinfull & 
disorderly behaviour of any of y'" y' y N Enquire into 
y'' truth y r of ct when y> perceive y e truth of Such 
evil reports, y 1 one or more of y 1 " together (as occa- 
fion Shall require) do adminifter Exortations & ad- 
monitions to y'' offender agreable to y aature ^ 
circumstances of y' offence, with faithfulnefs hut yd 



132 Records of the First Church in Cambridge. 

with all meeknefs & tendernefs, and when Such private ad- 
monitions dont anfwer y e End, y 1 y y advife with our Paftor 
about a more publick procedure with Such offenders. 

And y* in cafe of open Scandal y* require y e publick no- 
tice of y e Chh y y Exhibit a Complaint to our Pastor ; and 
in all cafes y l Shall be thought proper to be laid before y e 
Chh, y l y y procure & exhibit to our Said Paftor, y p Evi- 
dences y l may be had for y e Support of y e Complaint & for 
y u Conviction of y e offender. 

3. And y l this method may be y e more Efectual to anfwer 
y e End aimed att it is Proposed y' y r be nine of y e Brethren 
chofen into this Service, viz — three in y e Body of y 1 ' Town, 
one upon y e Common, one in Charleftown End two att Me- 
notomy, & two on y e South Side of y e river and y l y- continue 
in y ( ' afores' 1 Service & Trust for y e Space of one year. 

4. Finally it is proposed That this Chh Should Exprefsly 
declare y l y e defign of Such a Committee is not to be 
Understood to Excufe private Chriftians from Exercifing y' 
same Chriftiau watch or from administering ye Same private 
admonitions to one another which by y r Covenant & prof efsion 
y> are obliged unto. Nath 11 Appleton Paftor.

Agreable to y e vote of v Clih. of y e l2 th of y [nstanl as appears 
amongy e Chh. votes I wenttoSalem, as allso M r Danforth & M r 
Brattle as delegates of y e Chh. & joyning with L8 Chhs more in a 
Council. Chofe y" Rev 1 MP Walter Moderator, and y e Rev' 1 MP 
Barnard as a Coadjuter to him V' first Chh. of Ipswich & MP 
Welfted's Chh appeared only by y r delegates, without y 1 ' Elders, 
y r Elders refufing to Come, & it was Questioned by many, 
whether y were capable of Sitting in y' Counsil, becaufe y e 
Platform Says Synods are to confisi of both Elders & other Chh 
Members and in y' debates upon it I moved, iV others Seconded 
me y' Since y four chhs y ; Called us together afked fory e Elders 
as well as other delegates in y' Letters to us, y 1 y>' should be 
afked whethery accepted of thofe Chhs y 1 Came without Elders : 
but without taking y' step, y proceeded to a vote, whether thofe 
Chhs Sat right in y e Council, i1 pafsed in \" affirmative, F did 
no 1 ,, vol- for it & several Ministers entered y r difsent. Then y 1 
arol'e another debate, as to y manner of voting whether by 
Chhs, or by person-, y' occafion of v debate was y dispropor- 
tionate numbers of delegates from Some of y' Chh-, y' Chh of 
Ipswich having 7 dele-ate- & MP Welfted's ;"> delegates, So y l 

thofe 2 <Mihs without any Elders were equal to some other I 

chhs with v' Elders & delegates. It appeared t<> me & to others

y l y r would be great Inconveniency & difficulty in voting by 
Chhs, & fo proposed y l thefe 2 chhs would reduce y m selves to a 
proportionable number with y 1 ' reft, & y" we might go on in 
voting by persons as ufual, but y v declining to reduce y r number 
it was voted y 4 y e votes of y e Council Should be by Chhs, & 
not by persons. I joyned in this vote thinking it better to come 
into it pro hac vice, than to Suffer one Chh to have double y e 
power in a vote of any other Chh", hoping for y e time to Come 
(93) Chhs will take Care to Send Equal number of delegates. 

These Preliminaries being Setled, a Committee was Sent to In- 
form y e Rev d M r Fifk y' y e Council was now Sitting & desired y f 
he would Call his Chh together & y* y L ' Council was ready to 
receive what y> might have to offer. M r Fifk declined to y e Com- 
mittee to y s purpose y* he did not approve of y r method of pro- 
ceeding, y 1 it was Contrary to his Judgment, & his open declara- 
tion in times paft. Then Mefsengers were Sent to y t; Brethren, 
even to y r houfes to Invite y m in & offer what y y had to Say, but 
not one of those y T adhered to M r Fifk would attend, alledging 
y 1 y r Pastor had made propofals very reafonable & Chriftian to 
y (> aggrevied, & till y y were Complyed with y> had nothing further 
to Say, then y c Council adjourned to y e meeting houfe where y r 
was a publick hearing of y e cafe, y< is of y c Several Steps y* had 
been taken first by y e North Chh in beginingy e admonition, & y n 
by y e other three Chhs in Conjunction with that in Seconding of 
it, which hearing took up near three hours, then y e Council ad- 
journed to y e Town houfe to be by y m felves & to Consider of y c 
affair, and it was thought proper to begin where y y began in y p 
laying y e Cafe before us, which was with certain Letters, viz 
one from y (: aggrevied Brethern to y ( old North Chh, reprefent- 
ing y c ' broken, divided State of y r Chh & no methods Complyed 
with for y e healing y L ' Same, & a Letter allso from y c Elders or 
from y e Elders & Brethren of y e N. Chh to M 1 ' Fifk or to him & 
his Chh I am not certain which, Signifying If I mistake not, yr 
thought of Coming to vifit y™ in y' .">'' way of Communion y' is 
by way of Charitable admonition, & y" a Letter from M r Fifk to 
y e North Chh, objecting agaiuft y r coming for two reasons more 
Efpecially 1 st because y y had prejudged y e affair in an afsembly

of Clihs allready. 2<»'- v y 1 he had made Such proposals to y e ag- 
greived in order to y e Settling & determining y' diferences as he 
thought Christian and reasonable and y" another Letter from y e 
Brethren of y e Chh y l adhere to M 1 Fifk objecting against y e N. 
Chh's Coining alledging many things which I have forgot; but 
particularly Infifting upon y e reafonablenefs of y 1 ' propofals y 1 
Pastor had made to y e aggreived. Now many of y e Council ob- 
ferving w' great Strefs y e Pa f tor M r Fifk & his adherents laid 
(94) upon certain propofals it was propofed, That Some Inquiry 
Should be made Concerning thofe Propofals. Accordingly M r Gee 
was Sent for and interrogated about y"', who thought it not 
proper for him to say any thing of y m without y e reft of his 
Brethren, who being feut for, and coming in, y> were afked 
whether y e North Chh had any proposals laid before y m y' M r 
Fifk refers to in his Letter, to which it was anfwered y l M r Fifk, 
who Speaks of proposals did in his Letter Send none to y r Chh 
but withall M r Gee declares y l as he was y e Scribe or Clerk 
of y e former Council he had y e Papers Committed to him among 
which were thefe propofals & y' alltho y y had had no Consid- 
eration of y"' in y r procefs not Imagining y"' to be any thing atl 
all to y e merits of y 1 ' present Case yet if this Council desired y'" 
he had y m with him & would write out a Copy of y m . And y" it 
was obferved y l M r Fifk objects againft y e North Chhs Coining 
above others because y v had prejudged y e cafe in a former Coun- 
cil ; upon which Several of y e Council & more Especially of y e 
Elders afked for a Sight of y e refult of y e Council which M r Gee 
Said he had with him & would allow y'" Council a copy if any of y" 
Would write it out, upon this y r was a long debate whether those 
papers Should be brought into y e Council, Some opposing A: al" 
ledgiug y 1 y> were nothing to y e merits of y° case we were come 
upon & y" y- were not propofals of y' 'Chh, but only of y e Pas- 
tor, & y" y e Pastor would not come & bring y 1 " in iV. plead to y ui , 
others y 1 ' were y' earnestly desired those Papers might be brought 
in, alledging y'y 3 might pofsiblybe toy e merits of y e prefent cafe, 

& y 1 if y3 Saw y"' V' Could Judge whet her y s wcit or no, iV de- 
clared further y* y 3 Could not have light enough to Judge upon 
y e Cafe before y'" without & y' if others Could See Clearly to act 
without y e help of those papers, thofe y l Could not might be So

far Condefcended to as to have y" 1 brought in, and y l alltho M r 
Fifk would not bring y 1 " in, yet y* we Should be willing to get 
light where we Can get it, if not in y e particular way y" we would 
desire it. It was allso alledged y* very probably those papers 
might be to y e merits of y e Caufe, & y* our Justifying or not 
Justifying might be determined by y" 1 , for if we found y e several 
parts of y e chh moving for peace by propofals of peace, & if 
(95)thofe propofals were reafonable Chriftian ones as M r Fifk says 
y> are we might pofsibly think y f M 1 ' Gee & his Chh Infted of 
pafsing y 1 " by in Silence A; taking no notice of y'" might have 
acted a better pail to have Improved these propofals as far as he 
could towards y e producing of peace among y'" than in proceeding 
att once toadmonifh y'". It was allso S:iid y* by bringing in these 
propoals & making Some tryal of y 1 " we might probably discern 
more clearly where y e fault lay, for alltho according to y e pref- 
ent procefs of y e matter y e whole Chh was to come under Cen- 
fure, yet all allowed y 1 Some of y"' were not to blame. & by mak- 
ing Some Experiment with thefc propofals perhaps we might find 
where to enter all y' blame, and many other things were offered 
as arguments for y e bringing in thofe Papers, arguments So 
Strong & clear y l I thought y 1 was no gainfaying y'", but when 
y e votes were put whether y v Should be brought in behold y N 
pafsed in y e negative, which was very grevious to a great number 
of us, accordingly five Elders, viz M' Barnard, M r Holyoke, 
M 1 ' Wigglesworth, M 1 Tufts A: M r Chipman gave in a Paper to 
y° Moderator Signifying y 1 as that light was withheld from them 
which y v apprehended necefsary to .Judge upon y' Cafe before 
y 1 " y v Should withdraw' from y e Council A: did accordingly A live 
or '*» other Elders, viz ; M r Hale, I\ I ■ Emmerson, M r Storer, M r 
Bowman, INI 1 ' Jaques, I think & myfelf Stood up A declared toy 1 ' 
Council y* Seeing those papers were withheld y' we apprehended 
might afford light in y e affair before us, we utterly declined to 
give our Judgement pro or Con, upon y' proceedigs of y c North 
Chh, or y' other .'> Chh" afterwards in Conjunction with y" 1 for 
as y e cafe now Stood we had not, neither might we he allowed 
light either to .Justify or Condemn y' proceedings A y" INI' Stone 
A Several other delegates Stood up & declared y y were of y e 
Same mind. Upon this y 1 ' was a motion made to reconsider ye

votes about those papers but it Could not be obtained. So y e 
five forementioned Elders withdrew it y' other live or ('» of us 
with a number of delegates sal as Neuters, it y" y ( ' Council 
weut ou & Justified all y' Steps y' had been taken by y e North 
Chh & y" y e 3 other Ch 8 in Conjunction with them. After thefe 
votes were pafsed, y' Council voted to unite thofe four Chh s 
with y"' ^ y" proceeded to renew y' advice & admonition to y e 
Chh by a Letter & have adjourned y'"felves to 15 th of October 
(96) next, waiting till y' time to see what effect y 1 admonition 
will have, which for my own part 1 have but little Expectation of 
Confideriug how y e matter has been driven on but as thefe pro- 
ceedings are like to occasion a great deal of debate in y' Country 
I thought it proper for y e help of my Memory to Commit to writ- 
ing y e most remarkable occurrences in y s Council, whilst y> are 
frefh in my mind, & I would only obferve how Unhappy it is, 
y l when those who come together to heal divisions among others 
Should be divided among y'"felves, a Melancholy token y' y 1 
Chhs y" Convened had not so much of y e Pretence of great head 
of y 1 ' Chh att y r Convention as is to be defired att all times efpe- 
cially upon Such a Solemn oocafion as this. 

And as to y e votes of y e Councils in y' Justification of M' 
Gee's proceedings in y e Several Steps Suppofing y r had been no 
propofals I cannot but think y> have gone aside y' letter of y' 
Platform, & y e Spirit it design of y' Synod 1662, & I am at 
prefent fully of opinion y' the N. Chh. in Bofton was not a 
proper Chh to go to begin y'' 3 a way of Communion upon y'Chh 
of Salem, 1" because yy had prejudged ye aff air & 2ndly because 
of y' distance y' being so many other Chh" nearer y* Should have 
performed y' act of Charity. Indeed if Chh" m y Neighbor- 
hood had been applyed to it had refuted y" a Chh So diftant as 
y e N. Chh might have been .luftilied in going, lint y" 1 cannot 
See how y' Chh can be Justified in calling in y e ."> or 1 Churches 
viz, — y'' Old South Chh in Bofton, & M Whites att Grlouster 
both of which had been y 1 in Council & prejudged ye matter i^ 
M r Chevers of Ramney Marsh & M' Wigglesworths att [pswich 
buthe did not go. V 1 Platform Expressly Siiys such a Cbh 
must acquaint other Neighbour Chhs :

The Committee appointed to inquire into y' State of y' Chh

fider with y' Deacons what may be moft proper way to Em- 
prove V Same &c. Find that there is in y' hands of y Deacons

of thirty- seven Pounds nineteen Shillings & four pence three 
farthings : and y e Deacons have allso in their hands Bonds & 
(109) Notes Securities for y' Payment of two hundred & ten Pounds 
fourteen Shillings & one penny, with some Intereft due thereon. 
The two Sums above-mentioned amount to Two hundred & 
forty-eight Pounds thirteen Shillings & five pence three far- 
things: Part whereof, Viz 1 . Two hundred & Twenty Pounds 
six Shillings & nine pence one farthing is y' Produce of y e 
Land & Wood att Newton. 

And as to y" moft proper way to Improve y' Same Stock y« 
Committee together withy' Deacons are Unanimously of opi- 
nion. That in y" first Place So much thereof as may be ne- 
cesary for y e difcharge of any Debts due to be paid out of it 
be applied for that purpose. 
2 n '"y That y e further Sinn of forty Shillings Cash be kept in Bank 
by y" I leacons to defray any Contingent ( lharge y 1 may arife by 
providing y' Elements for y' Lord's Supper or otherwise. 

3 r,lly That y" remainder be put out at Intereft & be a Fund for y e 
Support of y' ( rOSpel under y' following Regulations. 
1 ' That it be let out in as few Sums as Conveniently may be. 

2'"> That y' Intereft of y' whole be made payable att y e same 
time 

3 d ly That y e whole of y" Intereft lie added to y' Principal for y" 
term of fourteen years next to come. 

4 thl> That from and after y' Expiration of Said term of Forteen 
yars during y' further term of fifteen years one Third part of 



222 Records of the First Church in Cambridge. 

y e Intereft annually Shall be given to y e first Parifh in Cam- 
bridge for & towards defraying y e Expense of Supporting the 
Minister of this Parish : and y e other two third Parts shall be 
added to y e Principal. 

f) lhlv . That from and after y e Expiration of y e Said laft mentioned 
Term of fifteen years. Two third parts of y e Intereft annually 
Shall be given for y e Support of y e Minister as aforefaid : and 
y e other Third Part shall be added to y e Principal forever. 

gthiy That this Fund shall be Infpected annually by a Committee 
appointed by this Chh, who Shall report to y e Chh y e State 
thereof and how y e produce is applied. 

When we confider y e Benefit y 1 may accrue to Pofterity by 
eftablifhing a Fund of this kind, and how much it will Con- 
tribute to promote y" worship of y e true God. & y e knowledge 
& y'' Practice of y e religion of our Common Lord & Saviour 
.lesus Christ amongst future Generations who may be Inliabi- 
(110) tants of This parifh. We regard it as a defertion of y e 
caufe of God and of His Chrift not to Embrace this oppertu- 
uity of Communicating our Sentiments Concerning this matter 
to our Dear & beloved Brethren in y e Lord Jesus, the members 
of this Chh. 

And we Earnestly recommend to them that when yy meet to 
Commemorate y e Death & Sufferings of him who Spared not 
to Shed his precious Blood for us. They would Express their 
thankfull remembrance of y e Benefit yy have received by Cheer- 
fully Contributing a Small part of y e Substance with which God 
has blefsed them for y e important purpofes of Continuing & 
Spreading amongst mankind that pure & undefiled religion 
which Chrift appeared on Earth to propagate. 

To Shew y l a very Small part of our Substance properly ap- 
plied would produce a very Considerable Effect. 

We beg leave to mention that by Calculation it appears that 
if Each Person who Contributes att y e Sacrament of y p Lords 
Supper, would Increafe his Contribution only one third Part 
(that is let y'' perfon who usually Contributes two Coppers, for 
y e future Contribute three Coppers Every Sacrament Day : 
and y c Person who usually has given Sixpence for y e future 



Records of the First Church in Cambridge. 223 

give ninepence, & so in proportion for greater or lefser Sums) 
and thefe Sums be regularly kept att Intereft: The Whole Stun 
in y" Space of Twenty Eight years would amount to four 
hundred & thirty five Pounds live Shillings & odd pence, which 
being added to Seven hundred & thirty three pounds Six Shill- 
ings & eight pence; ye produce of y'' fund as before planned 
gives att y fl end of twenty eight years the Sum of One thousand, 
one hundred & Sixty Eight Pounds, Eleven Shillings & Eight 
pence. Two Thirds of y e Interest of which laft mentioned 
Sum is y c Sum of forty six Pounds & fourteen Shillings almoft 
half as much as our Rev' 1 Paftors Salary. 

We therefore recommend to P^ach member of this Chh to 
Exercise that Piety & Charity with which God is well pleafed 
in y'' manner aforementioned namely by Increafing his Contri- 
bution att y e Sacrament one third part. 

And we further recommend y l y e State of the Chh Stock be 
Enquired into Every year; and that Such Sum or Sums of 
money as Shall be in y e hands of y e Deacons not appropriated, 
or necefsary for other Important Purpofes be annually applied 
& Set over to and for y e Increafe of y' Fuud abovementioned. 
All which we submit to y 1 ' wile prudent &c. confederation of 
our Rev 4 Paftor & Beloved Brethren of y e Chh.

(115) Some Minutes relating to y e Sale of y e Minifterial Farm att

Sale thereof for y e ufe of y e Miniftry which I think proper to 
Enter in y e Church Book, for the Information of my Succef- 
sors in y e Miniftry. 

But not having any Authentick Copies of y e Votes which 
have been pafsed relating to Said affair. I Shall only mention 
Several things according to my own knowledge or Remem- 
brance of them. The Authentick votes being to be found in 
y e Town Records or y e Proprietors Records, or Parifh Records. 
The Farm was att y e farther End of Lexington towards 
Bedford Containing 500 acres. Given in former time by y e 
Proprietors of y 4 ' Town for y e ufe of y e Miniftry In this Town 
& Place (according to y e beft of my Remembrance) My Pred- 
ecefsor y e Rev d M r Brattle had Leafed out y e Said Farm and 
there were Several years of y e Leafe to run att his Death 
which Leafe did not reftrain y e Tennants from Cutting & Car- 
rying off y e Wood & Timber. So y' it was thought great 
Strip & waste would be Committed, y e Timber cut off & y e 
Farm but little Cultivated. Accordingly after my Settlement 
in y c Miniftry in this place (which was Oct ,,r 9, old ftile 1717) 
It was thought beft to Sell y° Farm & put y e money out to In- 
terest, till Lands more convenient for y e ufe of y e Miniftry 
Could be purchafed. Accordingly in or about y e year 1719 or 
1720. The Town voted to Sell and did Sell y e S d Farm for £900 
of y e Province Bills, y e Currency of that Day. One hundred & 
Ttventy Pounds of y° money y e Town Improved towards re- 
pairing y e Parfonage Houfe. Sixty Pounds were Expended in 
Law Suits, &c. by y e Committee Imployed to manage y° affair. 
So y' y e original Sum y' was to put to Intereft was Seven 
hundred & Twenty Pounds. Now my Agreement with y e Town 
relating to this Money procured by y e Sale of S rl Farm was y* 



Records of (he First Church in Cambridge. 229 

I & I think my Suecefsors Should Nominate a Treasurer for 
receiving and Improving Said Monies: and y 1 ' Town to give 
y r Approbation of S' 1 Choice, or if not I to Choose one or 
another till y y Concurred and that I should draw Two thirds oj 
y' Interest & y' other third to be added yearly to y' Principal: 
which was Indeed my own Propofal Choofing to forego that 
third of y e Interest that y e Principal might be a growing Es- 
tate as y e Farm was. Accordingly I have Conftantly received 
Two thirds of y c whole Intereft and as y'' Principal was yearly 
increafed by y e addition of one third of y l Interest so my In- 
tereft Increafed proportionally from year to year. I nominated 
Andrew Bordmau Efq r The College Steward for Treasurer and 
the Town Concurred therewith and he Continued in Said office 
& Trust untill y c Day of his Death which was May 30, 1747. 
after which I nominated his Son y e prefent Andrew Bordman 
Efq r which Nomination y e Parifh Concurred with, who con- 
tinues in S d Trust to this Day. 

The Late M' Bordman y e Winter before he died viz, Jan. 
27. 1746/7 gave me a Lift of all y e Bonds Containing y° Said 
Monies under his hand as Treafurer which Paper together with 
a Paper of y e like Import from his Son y e prefent Treasurer, 
baring Date June 18, 1752 may be found in a Drawer of my 
Scriptore where are my Deeds & other valuable Papers. 
(116) By y c Lift of Bonds given in by MP Bordman y e first Treaf- 
urer of Jan> r 27, 1746/7 It appears y' y c Principal of y c Bonds 
amounted to y e Sum of £1052 old Tenor. 

Interest due upon y c Bonds Jan v 22, 
1746/7 as belonging to y e Principal £68.6.4 

And what he charges himself with alltho 
he never charged nor received anything 
during y e whole time of his Service & Trust, £14.7.0 

£1134.13.4 

So y l in y a Space of about 27 years y c Nominal Sum In- 
creased £414.3.4. 1 Say y° Nominal Sum, For by y* Unhappy 
State of our Medium Viz. Province Bills, during thofe years 
y depreciated to Such a degree & no remedy provided in y e 
loss to help y' Creditors to y" just value of y r Bonds. 

It was but nominal, for alltho y' ; Nominal Sum was So much 



230 Records of the First Church in Cambridge. 

Increafed yet y e real value was much diminifhed y e addition 
of y p third of y p Intereft did by no means make up for y e Sink- 
ing of y e Bills. 

But about y e year 1750 The Medium was Exchanged, y e Bills 
called in Lawful Money 6/8 Established and a Law made 
obliging all Debtors upon Bond to pay iu y r Debts according 
to y e value of y e Bills when y e Debt was Contracted. By 
which means there was a Considerable Saving to this Estate ; 
allthough by no means Sufficient to make up for y e Lofs 
during 30 years of depreciating Bills. 

But upon y e Exchange of y e Bonds into Lawful Silver money 
& according to y e value of y e Bills when y e Bond was given. 
The Nominal Sum in old Tenor was Confiderably Increased. 
For upon Reckoning & Settling y e Intereft with Andi'ew Bord- 
man Efq r y e Prefent Treafurer June 18, 1752. He gave me 
in a Lift of y e Bonds then in his hands (which Paper is De- 
pofited with y e former in my Scriptore) which amounted in y e 
Principal to £288.15.1. Lawful money, which makes in old 
Tenor £2165.13.1 and att y e Same time y r was of Interest 
due upon Said Bonds, to y e value of £170 old tenor to that day 
And I then received full two thirds of y e Intereft of all y e Bonds 
as I have from y e Begining. 

And now we See y l att y l day, viz, 1752. There is added 
to y e Principal above £40 old Tenor Every year, whereby it 
becomes a growing Estate, and it was my defign in Confenting 
to y c Sale & y p defign of y e pple in Selling y l it Should be a 
growing Estate, and therefore I hope No Successor of mine in 
y e Ministry will ever defire or demand more than two thirds 
of y p Intereft of this money. 

And I defire you let me Solemnly Charge y p People of this 
Parifh to abide ftrictly by this Rule of adding one third 
of y e Intereft conftantly to y p Principal and not from any Par- 
fimonious Spirit apply it to any other ufe then to y p Increaf ing 
y e Fund. Which is y e only way to have y p pious Defigns of our 
fore Fathers in giving y e Farm & of y e Children in selling it, 
(117) Most effectually answered, For you may Easily See y* by 
Such a constant addition to y e Principal it will att length 
afford an Income equal to what we may Supose y° P'arm 
under good Improvement would be likely to Rent for. Nay 



Records of the First Church in Cambridge. 231 

let me add what Some of you may Easily compute, that by 
keeping this vote & agreement of adding one third of y c 
Intereft to Principal Sacred & Inviolable that by y e 3 d & 4 th 
Generation It will of itself afford a Comfortable & Decent 
Support for a Minister without any Tax upon y c pple. 

Mem dm I would further Say y l as it was Propofed att y° time 
of Selling s' 1 Farm y l y e money Should be laid out in Lands 
more Convenient for y e Miniftry. And as it was necefsary for 
me y e Incumbent to manifef t my conf ent to y L ' Sale of S d Lands, 
under my Hand. So in y e Several Deeds which were made of 
y e Land I Signified my Confent with this Condition provided 
they purchafed other Lands with y" money more Convenient for y' 
Miniftry, which is not done. However if y e money be Effect- 
ually Secured & y e prefent regulation it is under Carefully 
obferved it may anfwer as good if not better purpofes,

In y e year 1768 Andrew Bordman Efq 1 ' ref igned his office as 
Treafurer of y e above mentioned money, and att a Parifh 
Meeting I Nominated Dr. William Kneeland Efq r for Treafurer 
to which the Parifh Confented. 

March 1769. I settled accounts with D r Kneeland who paid 
me y e full of my Two thirds of y e Interest to February laft 
paft and gave me an account of the Bonds & Monies (pro- 
cured by y e Sale of the Ministry Farm att Lexington) then

Gentlemen 

The invitation and call to become your settled Pastor, 
as exprefsed in the respective votes of the first Church and 
Parish in Cambridge of the 19 th and 21 s1 of October, which 



Records of (he First Church in Cambridge. 283 

you were pleased to present me before I left Cambridge, have 
been ever since, under my most serious consideration. The sud- 

(168) dennefs of the application, together with the peculiar difficulty 
and importance of the Station to which you invited me, called 
for a very deliberate attention to the Subject. Your benev- 
olence will, I doubt not, excufe the length of time which I 
have taken for a final decision. In respect to the office, 
Gentlemen, of which you have asked my acceptance, I can 
truly say, I consider it as above my years and my improve- 
ments. But the singular candor with which you received me 
and my ministrations, while I was with you, and the remark- 
able unanimity with which the transactions relative to my pro- 
posed settlement among you were conducted, silence my 
objections on this head. 

Upon the whole after weighing this matter with serious de- 
liberation and with prayers to the Father of Lights for guidance 
and direction, I have judged it my duty to accept this invita- 
tion and to give up myself to the pastoral service among you 
and accordingly, I do hereby signify my acceptance of this 
call of the Church and Society to settle in the work of the 
ministry among them. This you will be pleased to communicate 
to them as my answer. I ask a remembrance in your prayers ; 
and intend by the permifsion of divine Providence, to be with 
you in the course of the next week. 
In the mean time I remain 
Gentlemen 

with much respect & esteem 

Your obedient and very humble Servant 
Abiel Holmes. 
Deacon Aaron Hill, 

and the other Gentlemen of the Committee.

Mem' lm (By. Rev' 1 N. Appleton) The winter in y <: year 
1 740 is agreed by those y' are in years a m - us was Con- 
siderably a more Severe Winter then that of 1697. there 
were as large quantities of Snow & y e Ferry was froze over 
for a longer Space. People thro' y e Country put to Extreme 
difficulty to get wood. Hay Extremely Scarce in y e Spring 
& multitudes of Cattle dyed. 

It was a backward Spring, y e Englifh grass pretty good, 
y Englifh corn Indifferent, y e Indian Harveft plenty, but by 
reafon of y e Scarcity y foregoing Summer y 1 ' price was 
very high. 

The ferry was frozen So as y l pple travelled over from 
Christmas to ye tenth of March, more than ten Weeks. 

Mem' lm The Winter 1747 was very Severe, not so much for y' 
Kxtremity of ye cold as for y e great quantity of Snow. We 
had about 30 Snows and lefs of thawing Weather than ulual 
So y l y e Snows lay upon y e ground till it came to be 4 or 5 feet 
deep. So y f it was Exceeding dillicult pafsing from place 
to place. Ye 25 th of March 1748 y r was 2 or 3 feet of Solid 
Snow on a level att y 1 day y e Snow was on v" Bark Side of 
my house about 4^ feet high, was up to y° middle of v 
window. 

But God so order y e Seafons y 1 in a few days of South 
wind without any rain it went off, so y' on y' first day of 
april I had my Garden Sowed & planted with Onions, 
Carrots, Parsnips, Pease, Beans i^c

' ' Deacon Hill engages to pay interest for twenty pounds 
of the above balance. The remainder, being eight pounds 
eight pence two farthings, is to be put at interest, except- 
ing what shall be necefsary to defray contingent charges. 
"The Deacons have made the Securities, in general pay- 
able on the same day, viz, the 1 st of March. 
" Deacon Hill has made no charge for his trouble in 
providing for the communion, nor for negotiating the 
funds, but generously gives it to the Church. 

"One third of the interest of the private Securities 
including that from the third Parish, is to be paid by the 
Deacons to, the Treafurer of the first Parish in Cambridge 
on the first day of April 1793, and will amount to fou r 
pounds ten shillings. — 

One third part of the interest due on the public Securi- 
ties, when obtained, is also to be paid to the said Parish 
Treafurer, purfuant to a vote of the Church pafsed on the 
18 th of June 1773.

Nov. 19. At a Meeting of the Brethren of the Church, 

duly notified, for the purpose of electing a Deacon, to 

supply the vacancy occasioned by the death of Deacon 

Hill — after a prayer for the Divine direction and blefsing, 

the brethren proceeded to bring in their written votes, an 

and it appeared that Cap* John Walton was unanimously* 

elected. 

*One vote (doubtlefs his own) excepted. Of 14 votes 
he had 13. 

After due consideration Cap* Walton accepted the 
office to which he was chosen, and exprefsed his accept- 
ance in the following letter to the pastor of the Church : 

"Rcv d , and Dear Sir, 
' ' I received your official letter of the 3 d of Dec r 

"last, with the doings of the Church in this place of the 
"19 th of Nov r last, acquainting me that I was elected to 
' ' the office of a Deacon of said Church — an election as 
"unwished for as unexpected ; an office which I have not 
"merited, nor had reason to expect, and which, I have 
"reason to fear, will not be filled by me with that pro- 
' ' priety which it requireth. But, having taken into serious 
"consideration those arguments used in your letter, I 
"find myself not entirely at my own disposal; from 
' ' whence I believe it to be my duty to accept of the Call, 
' ' and do comply with it : - begging your prayers that I

By the above statement it appears, that a balance of 
eleven dollars & sixty two cents is due to the Deacons. 

The Deacons, as usual, make no charge for their ser- 
vices, except three dollars for extra expence, and time 
in managing the Fund. 

The Committee are of opinion and recommend, that the 
private securities, now exprefsed in the late denomination 
should be exchanged for others in that of federal money; 
and that no security be taken without a surety, or col- 
lateral security. 

One third of the interest of the foregoing Securities is to 
be paid by the Deacons to the Treafurer of the first 
Parifh in Cambridge on the first day of April 1798, and 
will amount to $24.21 purfuant In a vote of the Church 
pafsed 18 th of June 1773. 

The above we find to be the true state of the unappro- 
priated church fund in the hands of the Deacons on the 
30 th of June 17'.»7. 

The Commit tee then proceeded to enquire into | he State 
of the fund appropriated to the life of the Poor of said

It has been the usage of this Church to have the Lord's 
Supper adminiftered once in eight weeks. Some incon- 
venience (though not a subject of complaint) arising 
from the particular days of the communion not being 
specified and the first communion this year (1797) falling 
on the first day of January; the Pastor, on that day. 
proposed to the church, that, hereafter, the Lord's Sup- 
per be adminiftered on the first Lord's day of every 
month, beginning with the month of January. 
No objection being offered, the proposal has been carried 
into effect.

Jany 4. At a meeting of the Church, duly notified, for the purpose 
of electing a Deacon, to supply the vacancy, occafioned 
by the death of Deacon Mtjnro; after prayer by the 
Pastor for divine direction, the brethren proceeded to 
bring in their written votes and it appeared, that of ten 
votes, nine were for brother Josiah Moore, and he was 
accordingly declared to be chosen. 

William Dewey, a member of the church, being guilty 
of the sin of fornication previously to his late marriage 
and having been repeatedly conversed with by the Pastor 
and admonished, having also uniformly exprefsed peni- 
tence for the offence, was at length encouraged to offer 
a Confefsion to the Church. At the aforesaid meeting 
of the Church the following Confefsion was accordingly 
presented ; and voted to be satisfactory : 
"1 desire with shame and deep humiliation to confefs 
• ' before ( lod, that I have not guarded as I ought against 
"indulgence to youthful lusts; but have violated the 
"laws of Chriftian purity and thus have given just caufe 
'HI offence to the Church of which I am a member, as 
"well as exposed myself to the displeafure of a holy 
"God. Truly sensible, as I trust of my folly and sin. 
"I humbly ask forgivnefs of my Maker and in treat you 
"to restore me to your charity and fellowship, and ask 
"your prayers for me, that I may he preserved from 
"sin in future, and enabled by God 's grace to adorn the 
"doctrine of my saviour,

May 3. At a meeting of the Church it was voted. 

That the pastor of the church with brothers, C. 
Gannett. & J. Winthrop be a committee,, to consider 
the expediency of procuring religious books for the ufe 
of the members of the church ; and whether it be advis- 
able to apply for that purpose the surplusage of the con- 
tribution money, collected at the communion; and make 
report to the church. 

July 5. The Committee, appointed by the vote of the church, 
last recorded, made the following report to the Church, 
at a regular meeting. 

The Committee, appointed to consider the exped- 
inecy of procuring religious books for the ufe of the mem- 
bers of the church; and whether it be advifable to 
apply for that purpose the surplusage of the contribu- 
tion money, collected at the communion, beg leave to 
report. 

"That, on examination, they find, that, by a vote of 
"the Church 27 May 1773, the surplusage of the money, 
"raised by contribution at the communion, is incorporated 
"with the funds of the church; and therefore they judge 
"it not advisable to apply it to the object proposed. 

"The Committee, notwithstanding, recommend, that 
"a contribution be made by the Church, for purchas- 
"ing religious books for the use of members, under such 
"regulations, as the Church shall see fit to establish. 

"The Committee also recommend, that the Report 
"of the Committee of the Church, made 18 June 1773,* 
"designating the most proper way of improving the 
"church funds, be read annually, previous to the appoint- 
"ment of a committee to inquire into the state of the 
"church funds."

of a Church Library, and to report Regulations concern- 
ing the same, offer the following Report: 

That several persons have contributed Books while 
others have given money, to aid the design. Their 
Liberality has been such, as to infure the books contained 
in the list approved,, with a valuable addition. 

Your Committee propose, that the Collection of Books* 
in connection with any future increase by purchafe or 
donation, be termed The Church Library; and that the 
Books be for all the members of this Church, and others

Etegula i ions, 

1. An individual may borrow one Book at a time.

when convenient, from accommodating a member at a 
different time. 

4. If a Book sustain a great or special injury, while ab- 
sent from the Library, the borrower shall replace it by a

shall be estimated, as hereafter provided, which shall 
be paid to the Librarian by the borrower, before he can 
be admitted to the ufe of the Library. 

5. All Books borrowed from the Library shall be re- 
turned on the Monday immediately preceding the first 
Sabbath in July annually; and shall remain till after

tranfactions in his department, and present a statement 
to the Church at their annual meeting. 

8. Four fifths of the money, that shall hereafter accrue 
by gift or otherwife for the increafe or benefit of the 
Library, shall be expended in the purchafe of Books;

carefully preferring however the names of the donors. 

They shall make report of the state of the Library to the 
Church at the annual meeting.

An amendment was proposed in the 10 th article, viz. 
to insert the words "Library of the First Church," in- 
stead of the words "Church Library" and the Report. 
with this amendment, was accepted. A list of Books, 
proposed by the same Committee to be purchased for the 
library, was accepted by the Church. Whereupon 

Voted, to proceed to the choice of a Librarian, and of 
a Si a in ling Committee, to do the duties of those offices 
until the annual meeting in June. 

(57)

Librarian; and A. Holmes, Caleb Gannett Lsq. and 



364 Records of the First Church in Cambridge. 

Deacon William Hilliard, were chosen the Standing 
Committee. 

Voted that said Committee be authorized to procure 
the books on the list now communicated and accepted, 
and to employ the remainder of the money, subscribed 
for the Library, in purchasing such other books, as they 
may judge suitable, and in defraying contingent expenfes. 



The books and money, subscribed for the Library, 
having been collected and the Committee having pro- 
cured most of the additional books, which they w< re 
authorized to purchafe; a report of their transactions 
was made to the Church in October. The list of books 
being at length completed, the Committee caufed a Cata- 
logue of them to be printed, and distributed among the 
members of the Church, in December. The number of 
books at this time as appears by the Catalogue is one 
hundred and nine. 

N.B. The subsequent transactions relative to the 
Church Library, and the Annual Reports of the Stand- 
ing Committee, are recorded in a separate Book. A.H.

The Committee are of opinion, that no Security should 
be taken without a surety or collateral Security. 

The Committee further recommend, that in cases, 
where an individual person is indebted on different Secu- 
rities, those Securities should be united in one with suf- 
ficient surety or sureties, or accompanied with a mort- 
gage of real estate unincumbered, and of at least double 
the value of the debt. 

Two thirds of the Interest of the foregoing Securities 
is to be paid by the Deacons to the Treafurer of the first 
Parish in Cambridge on the first day of April 1808, and 
will amount to seventy three dollars and fifty six cents, 
pursuant to a vote of the Church, pafsed June 18, 1773. 

The above Ave find to be the true state of the unappro- 
priated Church funds in the hands of the Deacons on the 
30 th of June 1807.

Nov. 4. At a meeting of the Church, duly notified (12 members 
present) the Pastor stated, that he had not been able to 
give advice and admonition to Sarah L. Hilliard, con- 
formably to the vote of the Church at its last meeting, 
on account of her peremptory refusal to see him when 
he called at deacon Hilliard 's house, although she was 
made duly acquainted with the special design of his 
visit, and warned, that, if she persisted in such refusal, 
it would be at her peril. 

Whereupon Voted, That in consideration of the con- 
temptuous manner in which Sarah L. Hilliard has treated 
the Pastor and Church, in refusing to receive a pastoral 
admonition in conformity to a vote of the church ; also, 
in consideration of her general contumacious behaviour 
since the presentment of her petition; she be suspended 
from the privilege of communion with the church. 

Voted, That the Pastor be requested to communicate 
the transactions of the Church at this meeting to Sarah 
L. Hilliard. 

Voted, That this meeting be adjourned to the Friday 
immediately preceding the first Lord's day in May next 
unlefs it should appear expedient to call a meeting pre- 
vious to that time. 

The meeting was adjourned accordingly.

time he had neither seen her, nor received any communi- 
cation from her.

June 30. The Church met according to adjournment. 

The number of members present being small, it was. 
Voted, to adjourn this meeting to the day of the lecture 
preceding the communion in November. 
It was adjourned accordingly. 



Nov. 3. The church met according to adjournment. (11 Pres*) 
The transactions of the Church relative to Sarah L. 
Hilliard were read. The Pastor then stated, That he 
had given her written notice, that the Church have it in 
contemplation to proceed to a still higher act of cenfure, 
and that he had required her attendence at this time 
and place, that she might have an opertunity to exprefs 
her repentance, or to offer any reasons against such pro- 
cedure of the Church: but that she returned the letter 
of notice with signs of contempt and defiance. Where- 
upon, after serious deliberation, the following Vote pafsed 
unanimously: 

Whereas Sarah L. Hilliard, in July 1808, requested the 
Church to dismifs her husband from theoffice of a 1 >eacon, 
without offering any satisfactory reason for so extra- 
ordinary a request, which was considered by the Church 
"as tending to diminish respect for an important office, 
as affecting the interest and order of the church, and the 
honour of our holy religion," and whereas, in considera- 
tion of the contemptuous manner in which the said 
Sarah L. Hilliard treated the Pastor and Church in refus- 
ing to receive a pastoral admonition in conformity to 
a vote of the Church, also, in consideration of her general 
contumacious behaviour after the presentment of her 
petition, she was in November L808 suspended from the 
privilege of communion with the Church; and whereas, 
after all the sincere and faithful endeavours of t he ( Ihurch

(66) 
to bring her to a sense of her sin and folly and to recover 
her again to repentance, she has given no evidence of 
contrition, but, on the contrary, together with her refusal 
to hear the Church, has given additional and increasing 
proof of obduracy, and of an impious contempt of the 
ordinance of the Lord's Supper and of the discipline of 
the Church. 

Voted, That Sarah L. Hilliard be excommunicated. 

Voted, That the Pastor be requested to pronounce 
the sentence of Excommunication in presence of the 
Church, after the communion service on the next Lord's 
day. 

The Report of the Committee on the Church Funds 
was read and accepted. See p. 68-70. 
Nov. 5. Lord's day. After communion service, the Pastor 
gave a brief account of the cafe of Sarah L. Hilliard, and 
stated the obligations of ministers to endeavour to pre- 
serve the purity of the church. Jerm. xv. 19. Ezek. xliv. 
23. He then showed the treatment required, in case of 
an offence in the church, from Matth xviii. 15-19, and 
observed: From this and other pafsages of the New 
Testament it appears, that, after admonitions and re- 
bukes, if the offender appears incorrigible, he is to be 
cast out of the Society, and avoided as a person with 
whom to have any intercourse, except in the offices of 
humanity, would be dangerous. It is accordingly stated 
in the Platform of our Churches, that "while the offen- 
der remains excommunicate the church is to refrain from 
all memberlike communion with him in spiritual things, 
and also from all familiar communication with him in 
civil things, farther than the necefsity of natural or do- 
mestic or civil relations do require; and are therefore to 
forbear to eat and drink with him, that he may be 
ashamed." 

(67) 

He then recited the transactions of the Church at its 
last meeting on the case of M rs Hilliard, as recorded 
under the date of Nov r 3.; and appealed to the Church 



Records of the First Church in Cambridge. 375 

for a confirmation of the Vote of Excommunication, 

which was now signified (as it was in the first instance) 
by a silent vote. He accordingly pronounced, with 

pathos and solemnity, the following sentence of 
EXCOMMUNICATION. 

In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, the divine Head 
of the Church, I declare Sarah L. Milliard to be excluded 
from the Church of Christ, and cut off from the privileges 
of those who are stedfast in the covenant. I declare her 
to have broken the vows of God, which were upon her, 
and her sacred promifes to his covenant people, and to 
be unworthy of Christian society and fellowship. I pro- 
nounce her to be a person from whom the followers of 
Christ are to withdraw, as from one who walketh disorderly 
What is bound in the church on earth, according to the 
Gospel, will be bound in heaven. The sentence now 
pafsed is but a representation of a sentence inconceivably 
more awful, to be pafsed on the transgrefsor at the judg- 
ment seat of Christ, unlefs it be prevented by a seasonable 
repentance. 

That it may be thus prevented, may God, who hath 
the residue of the Spiritjof his infinite mercy grant through 

Jesus Christ. 

Amen. 

A prayer was then made, adapted to the affectimi, 
occasion; and the ufual benediction closed the solemnity.

"Whereas the members of this Church were for reasons

necefsity of pafsing a vote of excommunication against 
M M Sarah L. Hilliard, which was solemnly declared by 
the Rev. Pastor Nov. 5, 1809; and whereas the said 
Sarah L. Hilliard has since given satisfactory evidence of 
her contrition and repentance, and exprefsed her earnest 
desire of forgivnefs and readniifsion to our communion, 
as declared in her Confefsion this day communicated. 

Voted, That the said Sarah L. Hilliard be and is hereby

Voted, That the Report be accepted. 

1814 At a meeting of the Church 4 Nov r . 1814. 

Nov. 4. The Committee, chosen 16 Jan>'. to confer with George 
B. English on the subject of his recent Publication &c. 
made the following REPORT. 

"That they have had an interview with M r English, 
at which he treated the committee and the church with 
civility and respect, but did not retract the sentiments 
that he had maintained in his publication, which he 
allowed to be a virtual renunciation of Christianity, and 
incompatible with his continued relations to this church. 
The only concefsion he made was, that he had used 
some contumelious exprefsions which he did not entirely 
justify; but he did not retract any of the sentiments ad- 
vanced in that book. 

(84) 
"Your committee plainly stated to the offending brother 
the peculiar aggravations of his offence. They reminded 
him, that, during his connection with the church of 
Christ, and while under the bonds of the covenant by 
which he was voluntarily and solemnly engaged to walk 
in communion with us, he had exerted his talents and 
used his endeavours to subvert Christianity, and to bring 
the church into contempt. 

They also faithfully and tenderly declared to him the 
serious offence taken at his conduct by the members of 
the church; their solicitude for his recovery to their 
charity ; and the serious consequences, present and future, 
of persisting in his unbelief and opposition to Christianity. 



Records of the First Church in Cambridge. 393 

At the close of the conference, the committee inquired, 
whether he was willing to reconsider the subject, and to 
confer upon it with individuals of the committee. He 
readily profefsed a willingness; engaged to hold such 
conferance; and promised in case of any alteration in 
his principles or views, to give information of it to the 
committee. 

"It is with deep regret that the committee are con- 
strained to add, that, although M r English continued 
several months in the vicinity after this interview, and 
was frequently in Cambridge, he never called on one of 
the committee for the proposed conference, nor commu- 
nicated any thing to them on the subject; that, though 
The pastor of the church, hearing of his intended depar- 

(85) 
ture for the Southern States, called at his fathers house 
in Brighton, where he then resided, and left a request to 
see him in Cambridge, he never saw him, nor received any 
communication from him afterwards; and that several 
weeks ago, as the committee are informed, he sat out 
from Brighton for Virginia, not expecting soon to return. 

"In the serious and deliberate view of this unhappy 
and unprecedented case, the committee are of the opinion, 
that, although the offending brother did, by the original 
offence separate himself from the church, he still re- 
mained subject to its discipline; that this act neither 
absolved him from his obligations to us, nor released us 
from ours to him and to the Christian Church; and that, 
as the discipline of the church in this case hitherto has 
proceeded on the principle of this mutual and continued 
obligation, so any future, regular act of the church, relat- 
ing to the case, would be in scriptural and ecclesiastical 
order; and, finally, that though the offender is virtually 
separated from us by his own act, yet the honour and 
interests of our holy religion in general, and of this church 
in particular, do render a further procedure in this case 
expedient. 

"The Committee, do, accordingly, recommend to the 
Church to consider and decide, Whether the conduct 



394 Records of the First Church in Cambridge. 

of George Bethune English has not incurred a forfeiture 

(86) 
of the privileges of the church, and brought such scandal 
on our holy religion, as to render his excision from the 
church, by a formal act, just and expedient. Should 
such be the opinion of the Church, the Committee are 
prepared to report a form of procedure. 

All of which is respectfully submitted. 

A. Holmes P r order. ' ' 
Cambridge 30 June 1814. 



The Committee, having at a previous communication 
of this Report (at a meeting of the Church July 1 st ) been 
requested to resume their communication with M r English, 
further communicated the copy of a letter from the Pastor 
to him dated 25 July, to which no answer had been received . 

After a deliberate and serious discufsion, it was Voted, 
That the Report be accepted. 

The question referred, at the close of the Report, to 
the consideration and decision of the Church, was then 
put, & pafsed in the affirmative. 
The following Vote of Excommunication was then pafsed : 

' ' Whereas George Bethune English, by a recent publi- 
cation, entitled, 'The Grounds of Christianity examined 
by comparing the New Testament with the Old'; has 
publicly & opprobriously af sailed our holy religion, not 
lefs to the scandal of the Christian Community, than to 
the grief & scandal of this Church; and whereas by this 
conduct he has violated his own solemn covenant engage- 
ments, renounced his Christian profefsion, scandalized 
the christian name, and proved himself to be, not merely 
an apostate from the Christian Church, but an enemy to 
the Christian religion; and whereas the faithful endeav- 
ours of the church to reclaim him have proved ineffectual; 

Voted, That George Bethune English be excommuni- 
cated."

Records of the First Church in Cambridge. 395 

the Pastor communicated a letter from the President of 
Harvard College accompanied with votes and proceedings 
of the Corporation and Overseers respecting the forma- 
tion of the members of the University into a distinct 
Society for religious instruction, worship and ordinances 
on the Lord's day. By this communication it appeared, 
that the measure was adopted with a view to certain 
advantages therein stated, and that "the change medi- 
tated is in perfect consistency with that entire respect 
and affection which the University entertains towards 
the pastor and people of the First Parish in the town, 
with which she has from the beginning been united in 
public acts of religion." It also appeared, that a com- 
mittee of the college government was instructed to give 
notice to the minister and congregation of the First 
Parish in Cambridge of the intended change, and to 
express the sentiments of regard and fraternity felt by 
the members of the several College Boards, and the desire 
of Christian and friendly communion between the two 
Societies that may be formed: Also, that a Chapel is now 
provided in University Hall, accomodated to the pro- 
posed change; that measures had been taken for form- 
ing a church and administering the ordinances in the 
new chapel; and that this church is asked to concur in 
the design by dissolving the connection of such members 
connected with the University, as may apply for that 
purpose, also to be present by their pastor and delegates 
at the formation of a church within the walls of the 
University." 

(88) 

Whereupon voted unanimously. 
That the reasons assigned for the proposed measure, so 
far as it respects this church, are entirely satisfactory; 
and that the church is ready to concur in the design. 

Voted, To scud five delegates to accompany ihc pastor 
at the proposed formation of the college church; and, 
that the Pastor be requested to reciprocate the assurances 
of regard and fraternity so kindly expressed by the Uni- 
versity towards us.

The delegates chosen by the church were deaconWalton 
deacon Hilliard, with brethren Caleb Gannett, James 
Winthrop, and Timothy L. Jennison. 



Communications. 



I. Extract of a Letter from the President of the Uni- 
versity to the Pastor of the First Church in Cambridge, 

Cambridge Oct. 21, 1814. 
Dear Sir. 

I send you an official communication signed by me 
as Chairman of a Committee of the Corporation and 
Overseers, inclosing the votes & doings of the Boards 
respecting our worship. 

You will please use your discretion respecting the time 
and manner of communicating the documents. * * * * 
***** We expect to be prepared to enter the 
Chapel on the first sabbath in November, at farthest, & 
to have the church gathered & formed between 9 & 10 
o'clock of the morning of that day, when we ask the 
presence of yourself & delegates to witness & acknowledge 
our Christian standing as a church. 

with great respect & affection 
D r Sir, Your obedient servant 
Rev. D r Holmes J. T. Kirkland.

II. Transactions of the Corporation & Overseers. 

At a meeting of the President & Fellows of Harvard 
College June 27. 1814. 

The Committee appointed to consider and report upon 
the method of conducting the public worship have at- 
tended to the service and report. 

That the Overseers of the College in Oct. 1812, ac- 
cepted and recommended to the attention of the Corpora- 
tion a Report of the semiannual Committee of the Over- 
seers, explicitly advising a distinct religious service within 
the University; that the University soon after resolved 
upon the erection of University Hall with a view, among 
other objects, to providing a Chapel, sufficiently capac- 



Records of the First Church in Cambridge. 397 

ious for the assembly contemplated in such a service and 
in the expectation that, when it should be completed, the 
publick worship and instructions of the University on 
the Lord's day would be conducted within its walls. 

The acknowledged benefits that may be expected to 
attend such a measure, especially that arising from the 
opportunity it will afford of a degree of appropriateness 
in the exercises and of particularity and adaption in the 
instructions, which the claims of a mixed congregation 
do not allow; The convenience of calling the attention 
of the students on one part of the Lord 's day to the dis- 
courses in a systematic form, hitherto delivered less 
advantageously on a week day; the approved practice of 
other Universities; and the accomodations & means for 
adopting it in this Institution which will soon be enjoyed, 
are considerations which strongly enforce the establish- 
ment in question; whilst, at the same time, they explain 
the change meditated in perfect consistency with that 

(90) 

entire respect and affection w r hich the University enter- 
tains towards the pastor and people of the first Parish 
in the town, with which she has, from the beginning, been 
united in public acts of religion. 

The Committee propose the following votes 

1. That when the Chapel shall be completed, the usual 
services of the Lord 's day shall be observed therein — on 
which the resident Graduates & Undergraduates shall 
attend, and to which the several officers of the College 
with their families shall be invited. 

2. That proper measures be taken for forming a church 
and administering the ordinances in the chapel; mem- 
bers of the College government with their families, & 
students, Graduates & Undergraduates to be the only 
stated communicants. 

3. Thai the Charge of presiding and officiating in the 
public services thus appointed, and performing other 
ministerial offices he committed to the President and 
the Hollis Professor of I hvinity. 

4. That when the services shall commence, the public 



398 Records of the First Church in Cambridge. 

lecture of the Professor, now assigned to Tuesday of each 
week in term time, shall be delivered on one part of the 
day on the Sabbath. 

5. That such modification and transfer of the duties 
now incumbent on the President be made, as this new 
service shall appear to demand and the interests of College 
may admit. 

(91) 

6. That these votes be presented to the Overseers, that 
they may approve the same if they see fit; and if they 
be thus approved. 

7. That the President, with such as the Overseers may 
join, be a committee to give notice to the minister and 
Congregation of the first parish in Cambridge of the 
intended change, and to express the sentiments of regard 
and fraternity felt by the members of the several College 
Boards, and the desire of Christian and friendly com- 
munion between the two Societies that may be formed ; 
and that the President and Treasurer be a committee 
to agree with them upon the connexion which the college 
shall in future have with said parish. 

John Lathrop P r order. 
The foregoing Report was accepted. 



At a meeting of the Overseers of Harvard College July 7, 
1814. The Hon. & Rev d Board concurred in the forego- 
ing votes and acts of the Corporation, and appointed 
the Rev d D r Porter & the Hon. Artemas Ward to join 
with the Committee of the Corporation in communicating 
the doings of the Boards to the Pastor & congregation of 

the first Parish in Cambridge.

III. Letter from the Com tee of Corporation & Overseers. 

Harvard College Oct. 19, 1814. 
To the Pastor, the Church & Congregation in the first 
parish in Cambridge; 
Christian friends, 

The joint Committee of the Corporation & 
Overseers, appointed for the purpose, herewith com- 



Records of the First Church in Cambridge. 399 

municate the votes & proceedings of those Boards respect- 
ing the formation of the members of the University into 
a distinct Society, for religious instruction, worship and 
ordinances on the Lord's day. In announcing to you 
the proposed change, the Committee, in behalf of all the 
persons immediately connected with the University, 
and especially that portion of them resident here and 
accustomed to meet with you in the weekly duties of the 
sanctuary, are constrained to observe, that the idea of 
separation is attended with serious & tender emotions. 
This united service is endeared & consecrated by its 
association with former times, with the circumstances 
of our fathers & the dispensation of Providence towards 
the Commonwealth, the Town & the University from 
their commencement to the present period; and by the 
affecting recollection of that succession of enlightened 
& pious persons of both societies, who, through many 
generations, have assembled for the public acts of religion 
within the same walls. The ties of neighbourhood & 
friendship, the sympathy & regard naturally produced 
by a communion in religious acts, the experience of 

(93) 

edification & comfort in attendance upon your services, 
combine to make us wish to continue going to the house 
of God in company. But the reasons suggested in the 
doings of the Boards for a separation have been thought 
sufficient to outweigh objections and justify any sacrifice 
of personal feelings A: inclinations which it might involve. 
They lead us to believe, that the measure though in some 
respects undesirable and painful, yet viewed in all its cir- 
cumstances & bearings, may receive your approbation 
and good wishes. 

We ask you to join us in prayer to God that it may 
conduce to the interests of true religion in the Seminary 
committed to our care. We trust that whilst divided 
in place we shall be united in affection and live in the 
interchange of Christian offices of brotherly esteem & 
love, as occasion may invite or require. We acknowledge 



400 Records of the First Church in Cambridge. 

with gratitude the uniform expression of solicitude for 
our best interests on the part of the pastor, people, & all 
the means of improvement & reformation with which 
we have been favored under the highly respected minis- 
try of this place. May the blessing of God be on you 
and your children forever. 

We ask the church to concur with our design, by dis- 
solving the connexion of such members connected with 
the University as may apply for that purpose; also to 
be present by their pastor & delegates at the formation 

of a church within the walls of the University We 

also request the Parish to appoint a Committee to meet 
that of the Corporation to agree upon the connexion, 
which the University shall in future have with the 
Parish. 

In behalf of the Committee, John T. Kirkland 
Rev. D r . Holmes. Chairman. 

(94) 

IV. Answer to the preceding letter. 

To the President & Legislative Government, the officers 
& Members, of the University in Cambridge. 
Respected brethren & friends. 

I received a communication of the 21 st alt. 
.signed in your behalf by the President, respecting the 
formation of the members of the University into a distinct 
Society for religious instruction, worship and ordinances, 
and communicated it to the Congregation after divine 
service, the last Lord's day. 

To that part of it which relates to the Church, the atten- 
tion of the Church was directed ; and I send you the votes, 
passed on the occasion. By one of these votes I am 
requested in behalf of the Church, to reciprocate the 
assurances of respect, affection and fraternity, so kindly 
expressed by the University toward us. 

In performing this duty, I can truly respond to you, 
"That the idea of a separation is attended with serious 
and tender emotions" The association of our "united 
service" with former years; a recurrence to the times 



Records of the First Church in Cambridge. 401 

that have gone over us, to the eventful changes in the 
college, commonwealth, and country, to the great and 
good men of both Societies, who have, in succession, for 
nearly two centuries, unitedly worshipped within the 
same walls, and particularly our illustrious predecessors 
in the presidency and ministry, distinguished for their 
learning and piety; and the interesting recollections of 
our own experience, the remembrance of those excellent 

( ( Jo) 
Men, in the several offices of government and instruction 
in the University, now sleeping in the dust, with whose 
friendship, counsels and assistance we were favoured; 
respect and esteem for their successors now in office, and 
the comforts and benefits of the existing relations; the 
ties of neighbourhood, literary association, social inter- 
course, united devotions, and Christian fellowship; and 
the regards we entertain for the Pupils, who compose 
so important a part of our assembly, and whose improve- 
ment in knowledge and virtue has been the object of 
our incessant desire and prayer, conspire to render the 
thought of a separation equally solemn and affecting. 

Allowing ourselves, however, to be influenced, on this 
occasion, by no other consideration than a regard to the 
best interests of the University, we cannot but acquiesce 
in a measure, designed for its benefit. Our prayer to GOD 
is. thai it may, in all respects, be of kindly & salutary 
influence, and, particularly that it may conduce to the 
religious interests of the University — a Seminary con- 
secrated "TO CHRIST & THE CHURCH." 
We are grateful for your benovelent petitions for us; and 
ask you to continue the prayers which you so affection- 
ately offer for us and our children. 
May brotherly love continue. Short as is the distance, 
and small as will be the partition, between the places of 
our respective religious services, we indulge the pleasing 
persuasion, thai we shall be united in affection, and that 
that the interchange of fraternal and Christian offices 
as occasion shall invite or require, will be perpetuated. 



402 Records of the First Church in Cambridge. 

(96) 
We gratefully acknowledge the regard, uniformly 
shown us by the University, and the numerous acts and 
offices of kindness and fraternity we have experienced 
as individuals, and especially as a church and society. The 
remembrance of them will be always precious to us. 

Brethren, farewell. "We bless you out of the house of 
the Lord." 

In behalf of the Church. 

Abiel Holmes, Pastor. 
Cambridge 5 Nov r 1814. 



COVENANT. 

The Covenant subscribed by the members of the College 
Church, is dated, "Harvard College Nov. 6, 1814." 

After a recital of the provisions of the College Govern- 
ment "for public worship & instruction in the Semi- 
nary, the formation of a Church, and the administration 
of Christian ordinances and discipline therein," it is 
added. "The undersigned are desirous of concurring in 
these views of the College Legislature; trusting that the 
measure proposed will meet the divine blessing, and be 
found conducive to the interests of religion & virtue in 
this place of education. ' ' 

"We do therefore, in the presence of God, in the name 
' ' of Jesus Christ his Son, and in humble dependance on 
' ' his spirit agree to become members of a Christian Church 
"in the University, of the Congregational denomination. 
"We consider this act, by which we thus unite, as a 
' ' deliberate testimony of our belief in the Christian relig- 
"ion & our desire to be the subjects of its influence, & 
' ' partakers of its blessings ; as an engagement to observe 
"Christian worship & ordinances with the Church, as we 
"shall have opportunity; as a pledge of brotherly love & 
"of the duty of mutual encouragement & assistance in 
' ' promoting in ourselves & others the power of religion ; 
' ' & finally, as a solemn acknowledgement of the word of 
"God, as the rule of our faith and practice." (Signed 
by the President & 15 others.)

Prince — of a Ms. Register in the handwriting of Rev. 
Jonathan Mitchel, containing a lisi of the members of the

The Deacons having expressed the desire, and given 
their opinion of the expediency, that another deacon be 
chosen, to supply the place of the late deacon Moore, 
deceased, the Church appointed the second day of August 
next for that purpose. 

1818 

Aug. 2. At a meeting of the Church for the election of a Deacon; 
after prayer by the Pastor for the divine direction and 
blessing and the recital of the apostical instructions and 
precedents on the subject, the brethren proceeded to 
bring in their written votes, and it appeared, that the 
whole number of votes was ten, nine of which were for 
brother James Munro. He was accordingly declared 
to be chosen a Deacon of this Church. 

Sept. 6. After the morning Sermon (Lord's day) the Pastor, 
having admitted four members in full communion into 



Records of the First Church in Cambridge. 413 

the church, mentioned the election of brother James 
Munro to the office of Deacon, and his acceptance. The 
Deacon elect, signifying his acceptance by taking his 
seat, this day, with the Deacons near the communion 
table, rose, on being addressed by the Pastor, who briefly 
stated to him the duties of the office to which he was 
elected, exhorted him to fidelity, and announced him 
Deacon of this Church. In the concluding prayer, 
immediately following, he was commended to the grace 
& blessing of God. 

It had been the usage of the church, at the commun- 
ion service, for the members to remain in their own pews. 
To lessen the time and to facilitate the duties of this 
service, on the suggestion of the Deacons, the Pastor 
recommended it to the communicants to seat themselves 
in the pews on the broad Aisle. These pews were accord- 
ingly, occupied at the communion, this day.

not to forsake the assembling of themselves together, but 
to maintain divine worship and the celebration of divine

Records of the First Church in Cambridge. 447 

of November in the year of our Lord 1829— after seeking 
the direction of the Great Head of the Church, and after 
much consultation, relative to the peculiar circumstances 
in which ourselves, with our beloved Pastor, are, in the 
providence of God, placed, and relative to the course 
which it is right and expedient for us to pursue, the fol- 
lowing Preamble and Votes were prepared for considera- 
tion, and unanimously adopted : 

Whereas the Rev. D r Holmes, the Pastor of this church, 
has been excluded by a committee of the First Parish 
in Cambridge, from the desk and the sanctuary where 
he has long officiated, under a pretence that he is legally 
dismissed from office, and a great majority of this Church, 
retaining their affection for him and confidence in him, 
and not considering him legally dismissed, have with- 
drawn, and attended public worship under his ministra- 
tions in another place; whereas the said Committee of the 
First Parish have also manifested a disposition to deprive 
us, as a church, of our justand immemorial rights, and there 
is now no prospect that the gospel, as it appears to us 
revealed in the Scriptures, and as it was embraced by our 

135 
fathers from the first planting of this church, will, at pres- 
< hi . be preached in the house over which the First Parish 
have legal control; whereas it is, in our, view, of the 
in most importance that this gospel should be maintained 
within the boundaries of this parish and a Society, bear- 
ing the name of "The Shepard Congregational Society." 
has recently been formed and organized for the purpose 
of supporting the gospel here, in its purity; with which 
Society we. as a Church, are respectfully invited to unite 
and co-operate, according to the rights and usages of 
Congregational churches ; — whereas our venerable Pastor, 
holding, as he does and must, thai he is not legally dis- 
missed from office in the First, Parish cannol now con- 
sistently mind] himself to the New Society and become 
in form, its minister, but another person has of late been 
employed with a view to settlement in the work of the 
ministry— in consideration of all these circumstances, 



448 Records of the First Church in Cambridge. 

and having consulted with the Rev, D r Holmes, our 
Pastor, whose relation to us as a church, we wish to hold 
sacred and inviolable, and finding that, in present circum- 
stances, the choice of a Colleague Pastor meets with his 
entire approbation — therefore 

Voted, 1 st That until such time as our rights, with those 
of our Pastor, shall be respected, and the privileges of the 
gospel ministry be enjoyed, as heretofore, in connection 
with the First Parish in Cambridge, we will, as a Church, 
accede to the invitation of the said ' ' Sheparcl Congrega- 
tional Society" and unite and co-operate with it, "in 
maintaining the worship and ordinances of the Gospel, 
according to the established principles and usages of 
Congregational Churches in this Commonwealth." 

Voted, 2 dl y That in pursuance of the object, and sub- 
ject to the several conditions expressed in the first vote, 
this Church do now invite and call M r Nehemiah Adams, 
junior — who has been heard by us for several Sabbaths 
with high approbation, and in whom we have full 
confidence — to the office of Colleague Pastor in this 
Church, in connexion with the Rev. D r . Holmes as senior 

Pastor. 

[136] 

1829 Voted, 3 dly That a committee of three be appointed to 
communicate a copy of the foregoing preamble and votes 
to "The Shepard Congregational Society." and request 
their Concurrence with us : and if said Society do concur, 
that said Committee Communicate to M r . Adams the 
doings of this Church and in case of his acceptance of the 
call of this church and said Society, that said Committee, 
on our behalf, and, where proper, in connexion with said 
Society, do take all due and usual measures in relation 
to the ordination of M r . Adams. 

Voted 4 thJ y That deacons Hilliard and Munroe and 
Richard H. Dana be a Committee for the above purpose.

Munroe, deacons of the First Church in Cambridge, all 
the goods, chattels, property, rights and credits, belong- 
ing to the First Church in Cambridge" And whereas the

The aames of the parents of the children who were baptised or died have not been in- 
dexed, as they can readily be found by turning to the baptism or death. 

There are a number of negroes mentioned on the records, these are indexed under the 
heading "Negroes," under their surname when that i- given on the records, but in many 
cases only their given name is recorded. No attempt has been made to. index the names 
which are only incidently mentioned, as owing the church money, bringing in wood and so 
forth. When the transaction is of sufficient importance their names may lie found in the 
general index at the end of the Index of Names. 

For list of names of those who sent in supplies and wood to the ministers, see pa
